"What is the meaning of this tunnel?" Situ Fang asked coldly.
The Lu Family cultivator's face was pale, yet his mouth was firm, "It's a mine, isn't it normal to have caves inside?"
But his tone quivered slightly.
"Let's go in and have a look," Mo Hua said indifferently, paying him no heed.
The Lu Family cultivator's eyes flickered with panic, and he quickly stepped in front of the entrance, stretching out his arms to block everyone,
"This mine shaft is a secret of the Lu Family's mining operation. Outsiders are not allowed..."
Bai Zisheng kicked him directly, sending him tumbling into the hole.
Mo Hua nodded and said, "He is a Lu Family cultivator, and he took the lead in going in. We have no choice but to follow."
Situ Fang stared at the two in stupor.
She thought to herself, these two really are brothers from the same sect...
Birds of a feather flock together.
Mo Hua boldly stepped into the mine.
The others followed him in as well.
After entering, Situ Fang silently followed beside Mo Hua.
She knew that Mo Hua was innately weak and was not a body cultivator, and it would be dangerous if someone or something got close to him.
By staying close, she could protect Mo Hua in case of any emergencies.
After all, Mo Hua was risking his own safety to help her by entering the mine; she didn't want him to get hurt.
The Lu Family cultivator who had been knocked to the ground also got up, saying angrily:
"You... cough..."
He spit out a mouthful of dirt with a "ptui" and continued, "That's too much! I will report this to the Family Head..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Bai Zisheng kicked him again, "Lead the way!"
The Lu Family cultivator was indignant, "Impossible! I can't lead the way!"
Because he actually didn't know the way either.
Mo Hua looked around and then said, "Follow me."
He then took the lead deeper into the mine shaft.
The others exchanged glances and also followed Mo Hua inside.
The Lu Family cultivator's expression fluctuated uncertainly.
Is this little devil a traitor from their Lu Family?
How could he be so familiar with this mine shaft?
He wasn't sure what was inside the mine, and he dared not venture deeper.
But he also couldn't let the Supervisor from the Taoist Court Records Office inspect the mine at will.
Otherwise, if the clan held him accountable, he would be in deep trouble.
The Lu Family cultivator hesitated for a long time, but eventually could only grit his teeth and follow them inside, hard-headed...
...
The shaft was as damp and gloomy as the outside, filled with a filthy stench.
But there was an added scent of decay, a hint of death, and a bone-chilling coldness permeating the air.
And all around were formations.
As Mo Hua walked, he used his divine sense to perceive the formations on the stone walls, feeling inwardly surprised.
The formations within the mine were mostly first-grade ones.
Not only that, these first-grade formations were part of an entire set, complementing each other in a complex first-grade compound formation.
This compound formation was intricately designed and executed with skilled strokes using high-quality spiritual ink, completely different from the crude formations outside.
Clearly, they came from the hand of an expert, possibly even a veteran first-grade formation master.
It seemed that the Lu Family didn't lack formation masters or the means to hire them.
This was very strange...
Mo Hua slowed his pace and began to use divine sense calculation to decipher the formation patterns and determine the types of formations.
After a moment, he had a rough understanding.
The compound formation included an Earth Stone Formation, an Early Warning Formation, a Sound Isolation Formation, and several other types that supported each other.
The Earth Stone Formation was for reinforcement, the Early Warning Formation for precaution, and the Sound Isolation Formation to keep out noise...
Mo Hua frowned slightly.
What was the Lu Family's purpose for setting up such complete formations in this mine shaft?
